Repetitive movements and habits such as desk work or gardening can create postural patterns that result in tension and pain. Therapeutic massage works out these issues using deeper muscular techniques such as trigger point therapy and muscle stripping.   

MLD therapy is a form of medical massage designed to assist the function of lymphatic system by the application of slow, light, and repetitive strokes that help move lymph fluid through the system of vessels and nodes.  Used primarily to treat lymphedema, it can also be used to calm the nervous system, help with pain caused by certain conditions such as fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis, treat post injury and post surgical swelling, and even aid in seasonal allergy relief.  Full treatment sessions require extensive intake but it can also be added to traditional massage appointments.  Please contact me directly with any pre appointment questions or additional information on MLD treatments.
